Social services have told my sons school im seeing a therapist

II'm A so stressed out now that social services are involved in my sons life and now I dont feel I have a life of my own.i cannot even speak to anyone because anything i now say will be judged that im not safe to look after him.i had a meeting last week at my sons school to discuss the severity of the situation with this girl who has coerced him ( which he still cannot see and its now affected his behaviour at school).but the teachers attitude toward me although very pleasant as usual had clearly changed and it they very obviously guarded and had been told ( I think) that I suffer with mental health.Which im furious about because its never put my son in danger or been in any danger and I have been the one to alert everyone about this girl as the safeguarding issue.I don't see how I can ever return to the school or now see a therapist when everything is shared

Taking children into care is only rarely a move that is in the child's best interests, and it is also very expensive for the local authority.

The social worker is there to help you both.

In practical terms there will be occasions where you need to attend the school in future, and your therapist would only ever disclose information that they felt applied to safeguarding. Otherwise anything you say is confidential.

I cannot go to therapy now because previously everything was turned against me and I lost custody of my son and it took 3 years to get him back

This social worker is not helping she is more interested in why i have more bedrooms than I need

@Kimi87 that confidentiality clause that you mention and that I signed many years ago meant absolutely nothing when all my private therapy sessions were read out ( large snippets of) infant of my ex partner and his entire family,my mum which he then went on to print the details and circulate around my entire neighbour leaving me to have a total nervous breakdown.The only saving grace was a highly respected psychiatrist at the time who was absolutely appalled that my medical history had not only been used in such a manner but had been allowed to,and twisted and misconstrued.So what people assume can't be done.HAS been done to me

It all comes down to the human factor.Dont trust anyone.Nobody really wants to help and very seldom do you find anyone good at their job.I am finding myself repeating myself and having to explain everything.But its such a complex situation and I think you just wouldn't believe how dark things are.There are golden handshakes even in the world of child custody situations.when people's reputations are on the line and law firms.A single mum means absolutely nothing at that time.Its all about point scoring.
